Well there is no truth in woman say I, as a man
says of course when he fancies he has found one thats
false. one such however I have found enough.
its nothing more than fancy. Alas!Miss Lotty! Miss Lotty, what will become
of you Have you forgot already what your woman
I am sure has told you many's the good time and oft of the fate of thoselittle misseswho
play with fire! Alas how cruelly have you unclear>twisted</unclear>
with my flame!

I have proof of it in black and white

I hope I should have had more prudence and
philosophy; and yet it's ten to one but what if
Miss L.kind ingeniouslyhad not prevented me, I should have
sallied forth upon the enquiry. I'll tell you what
I should have done—I did something likethis as I was sayingI cast upon
a much less occasion and afterwards I will tell you that true.
There was a Frenchman merchant who had shewn me
some civilities abroad. He was to come to England
some time afterward. I asked him, and he promised
to come and see me. He called but as I
happened not to be at home - he left me his address
thinking it sufficient to mention such a house
in Bell Alley. As it happens, there are 6
and twenty. Bell Alleys in and about London; I
found their namesdirec in the London Directory, and to get
a line conveyed to him, that he might not think delighted
him I could think of no other expedient than sending
a Penny Post letter to each every one of these places.
One of my Letters accordingly found him out
Near or very near or just by Lincoln's Inn" and Miss I am not sure
which but I should have looked again before I had
done any thing! said Miss Lotty in her letter to Ms Lind. supposing it only
near, that could At a Miss Ward's a Milliner's she says in her
letter to me. Let it be only near: that can hardly
mean a greater distance further off than half a mile. Well then
to find out this Mrs Ward, what should I have done
I should have taken out my map of London, & my compass,
and setting one foot in Lincoln's Inn I should
have swept a arch, with a radius answering to half a
mile - W Within that circle I should have - your
putting in pirking in my pretty face high and low into all the Milliners
Shop's in town to for his I could get scent of. What a deal of execution I should
have done on my way! It's well for the Milliner's Girls
Mrs Ward turned out so soon to be a non-entity. What an
escape too has the public had - what a loss there would have been
of a time so valuable to it as must needs be?


With respect to certain misseys wish
A, it would be my anxiety to keep peace
in families. especially where matters of such
importance are liable to come into dispute
I do hereby adjudge and determine, calling
into my assistance all the elucidating
powers inherent in my profession - as follows.
All that is liberally free in these presents, is
the sole and lawful property of Miss
Lind: if there be any thing that is otherwise false in which there is shewn
it belongs naturally to Miss Lotty. has an indisputable
right to it.
